You and your spouse are suffering from an extreme case of marriage conflict. You fight, you argue, you throw tantrums at one another. Heck, you throw things at one another. Every day, you draw closer to becoming another statistic among the half of all marriages that end up in divorce.
So what can you do to manage and defuse your marriage conflict before you end up in divorce? Experts will tell you to apply the following measures to your marriage conflict before it’s too late.
1. Focus on the big picture. Often times, a couple will get so caught up in the micro view, the small issues, the nitty-gritty that they lose focus on the big picture. Your marriage and your love for each other should be the focus.
2. Distinguish between what’s important and what’s not. There are just not that many things in life that are that important. Argue about how many kids you want by all means, but not over how large a TV you should buy or what color the living room curtains should be.
3. Put aside your personal pride. Probably the biggest obstacle to resolving marital problem and the greatest source of conflict is personal pride. Tied with learning to draw a distinction between what’s important and what’s not, learn to put aside personal feelings or attachments and do what’s best for both of you instead.
